“My confession is a success, Mommy,” Sabrina giggled. Then, she happily hugged her mother. However, sorrow filled Figario’s heart when he saw his daughter’s happiness. It felt as if someone had stolen his treasure.
Suddenly, he huffed angrily, “At least the brat is smart enough. Introduce me to him when we have the time. Let me see if he really is as good as you say.”
“No problem. I’ll find a chance to let him know.” Following that, she nodded happily.
Meanwhile, Tessa was in a good mood when she returned home. Finally, someone can look after Timothy in my absence. Perhaps, I’ll have a nephew or niece soon. She was overwhelmed with joy at that thought.
Nicholas’ mood also brightened at the sight of her joy. For the next few days, it seemed as though they had returned to the peaceful days of the past.
During the day, Tessa would take care of the kids. When she had the time, she would head into the music room to practice. So, when Nicholas returned home in the evening, the entire family would go for a stroll in the park or to the stores, which made her life peaceful and joyful.
In the blink of an eye, an entire month had passed since her discharge from the hospital. On that day, they went to the hospital for a follow-up appointment.
The doctor glanced at the results and smiled. “You have recovered nicely, Madam Tessa. For the next few weeks, you can start with physical therapy to regain muscles in your leg.”
When they heard that, the couple joyfully smiled at each other. “How should we go about the physical therapy sessions?” Nicholas asked. “What do we need to do?”
“You will have physical therapy sessions every day. Later, you can schedule an appointment and set up your subsequent appointments. Every day, you’ll be at the hospital working on your muscles. You will start with 30-minute sessions and slowly work your way up to 1-hour sessions.” The doctor briefly explained everything they needed to do.
The two of them solemnly listened to his instructions before making their appointments.
Once her appointment was scheduled, she would go to the hospital daily, accompanied by her husband, who would never leave her side. After experiencing some discomfort at the beginning of her physical therapy appointments, she eventually got used to it. Even though she could only do 30-minute sessions, she felt her leg getting stronger by the day, which filled her with joy and motivation.
However, the only thing that bothered Tessa was that Nicholas had to take time out of his hectic schedule to come with her to the hospital. Soon after, she stopped him from accompanying her so he wouldn’t tire himself out.
“I’ve gotten used to the hospital now,” she said. “You don’t have to go with me. Focus on your work.”
Although he was unhappy, he had to give in and stop accompanying her because he could not win the argument. From then on, Tessa was driven to the hospital by the driver.
After receiving word from a subordinate that Nicholas was no longer accompanying Tessa to physical therapy, Susan smirked maliciously.
‘Tessa, oh, Tessa, I finally have the chance. Keep dreaming if you think you’ll ever be able to stand on your own two feet!”
She then slammed her glass of wine on the table and shot the subordinate standing nearby a sharp glare. ‘I don’t care what you have to do. In three days, I want Tessa to get into an accident that will break her arms and legs. I want her to be unable to play the violin ever again!”
I’m stuck living as a cripple because of that b*tch, so I want Tessa to be disabled and never be able to stand again!
Soon, her subordinate nodded. “Don’t worry, Miss Susan. I, Jason, would never let anyone who hurt you walk free. Still, we have to be cautious about this.”
He was one of Walter’s most capable men and obeyed every word Susan said. Nevertheless, he was a careful man. Thus, he had his own opinion on the task she set.
She knew what kind of man he was, so she asked coldly, “What is your suggestion?”
“Miss Susan, you have struck once. Nicholas and Tessa will surely be on their guard. Causing an accident might not achieve the desired outcome. I suggest we turn our attention to the hospital.” Then, Jason continued to explain, “They would definitely not be as wary in the hospital. That greatly increases our chance of success. It is also very crowded. We would have more chances to act.”
